The Studio Shed, a comfortable, spacious studio with separate modern shower/bathroom, nestled in the quiet valley of rural Broughton Vale, just a 5 minute, 5 km drive to the shops and restaurants of Berry. It has its own private driveway & entrance.

The Studio Shed has a private entrance and is situated on 5 acres of undulating lawns and gardens. Your own driveway winds down through a canopy of trees to the entrance where you'll find yourself tucked away behind the main house, well separated by lush gardens providing complete privacy. Continue on down by foot and explore the 5 acres of garden, dams, vege garden, chickens and a stretch of pasture with surrounding views looking out and up to the ‘Barren Grounds' and ‘Drawing Room Rocks'

We are in a quiet street with your closest neighbour some 400 metres away so peace and quiet is assured.
Quiet country lanes surround us, ideal for long walks or bike riding.
The popular shops and cafes of Berry village are just a 5 minute drive away and pristine "Seven Mile Beach" is under 15 minutes drive.
Local 18 hole golf courses include "Shoalhaven GC", "Gerringong GC" and "Nowra GC", all under 20 minutes drive.
We are happy to pass on our recommended local cafes and restaurants.

Our host Doug was very accomodating and friendly, and was very thorough when welcoming us to the property with a great tour around the grounds and studio where we felt very comfortable to roam where we wished. There was a lovely range of food, teas and coffee available for breakfast the next day, and checking out the next day was a breeze with a lovely chat and relaxed time constraints that really helped make our morning that much better. We will definitely be coming back to stay in the future, and really appreciate the hospitality at Gnithcayton.

My wife and I were looking for a quiet weekend escape somewhere beautiful and also not too far from busy Sydney. Doug's Studio Shed not only delivered on our criteria, but exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful visit, highlighted by an immaculately and tastefully kept Studio, situated on acres of beautiful land with chickens, ponds, fruit trees and a very friendly duck. It is well-nestled within beautiful Berry (only a few short minutes drive from the main town), and Doug was super helpful in recommending top notch restaurants in town and suggesting picturesque drives to and from Berry. He also provided us with fresh eggs and bread, bacon, fruits (including from his own trees), chocolates, jams and more. We wish we could have stayed longer, and are already planning our next visit. We highly recommend Doug's Studio Shed!

Sean2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

My partner & I stayed at Doug's delightful property for only one night but the hospitality shown by Doug & his wife was exemplary. The location is absolutely idyllic, the property is surrounded by picturesque countryside while also being located within 10 minutes drive of shops & cafes. The studio is very spacious, more like a cottage with generous dining, lounge & bed areas. The ensuite is fully equipped & modern, including luxuries like heated towel rail. The kitchenette is thoughtfully stocked, with fresh ingredients provided for a hearty complimentary breakfast. Doug welcomed us and provided helpful information regarding nearby walks & made us feel completely at home to explore their beautiful property. We enjoyed a private and cozy stay and would definitely recommend to others - we hope to be back soon!

Jane2017-06-17T00:00:00Z

Without doubt our best experience to date on AirBnB. We loved Doug's Studio Shed. It was beautifully decorated with the best of furnishings, great cooking facilities, very comfortable bed and couch and excellent bathroom. Doug not only provided the makings of a delicious breakfast the first day but also opened up his extensive veggie garden and citrus trees to us. He provided information on local sights, helped us get a New Years Eve booking at a lovely local restaurant and was always ready to provide help if needed. The shed is very private and has a lovely external seating area also. There's wineries and beaches nearby and the town of Berry is 10 minutes away. If you're looking for tranquillity, with all mod cons, this is the place for you - we loved it and will definitely be back !

Simon2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

Our experience at the Studio Shed was amazing! Doug made us feel at home as soon as we arrived and we were extremely well looked after; from the most comfortable bed and beautifully soft linen, to the provided breakfast and relaxing waterside verandah! We would love to stay again.

Louisa, Alistair & Douglas2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

Absolutely loved our stay! Doug and Bett were really welcoming and gave us lots of helpful information about walks and getting around! The place was so cosy and comfortable, just what we needed! We will definitely be back :)

Emma2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

It's a great place for a romantic getaway and for any special occasion. I would highly recommend Doug's accommodation. He even left us 4 fresh eggs from his chooks, fresh bread, bacon, milk etc. Such a hospitable host.

Gerrie2017-03-03T00:00:00Z

美丽的位置非常隐蔽,宁静和放松。我的男朋友和我有一个非常愉快的时间,Doug的热情好客是例外,我们不能一直想为别的

Our cosy, private 1 bedroom contemporary country apartment includes a separate sitting room (with sofa bed), newly renovated bathroom and kitchenette as well as a sun-filled, leafy courtyard and verandah. The apartment is under the same roof as our 1920s original Berry homestead 'Rosehill' but with your own separate entry.

Our newly renovated self-contained apartment oozes contemporary country charm with all the comforts of home. Enjoy a glass of wine in the adirondack chairs on the back porch as you watch the rainbow lorikeets feed in the dogwood tree shading the courtyard. Snuggle up for a cosy night in watching the latest movies on Apple TV or wander just minutes into town to enjoy the many outstanding cafes, restaurants and shops Berry has to offer.
Relax in the comfort of the air conditioned bedroom with a blackout blind and shutters for long sleep-ins. The super comfortable queen bed is fitted with high thread count linen and feather pillows. Fluffy bathrobes and hot water bottles have you covered for chilly nights.
The new heated bathroom is adjacent to the freshly installed kitchenette located in a gauze-way area leading out to the back porch (a gauze-way means it opens to the outside verandah via a gauze door only - always lots of fresh country air in the kitchenette!).
The compact kitchenette comes complete with microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster and sandwich press as well as a Weber Q gas BBQ just outside on the rear verandah. The kitchenette is fully stocked with cutlery, crockery, glassware and utensils for preparing light meals. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate are provided along with a small bottle of local milk.
If booking for more than two guests, we have additional bedding on the queen size sofa bed in the sitting room. Travelling with little ones? We can provide a porta-cot and high chair too.

Located on one of Berry's favourite, quiet streets and just 5 minutes walk to the main street filled with cafes, restaurants and shops. One block from the village pool and Showground, site of the famous Berry Markets held on the first Sunday of the month. Just 5 minutes walk to the train station.

Beautiful renovated period cottage with excellent amenities. Cold in kitchenette at night but avoiding this early morning and at night in winter, you have a central lovely experience to look forward to. The outside courtyard was very pretty as were all the rooms. The hosts are super friendly. Enjoy.

Enrico2017-06-02T00:00:00Z

A lovely place to stay, just a short walk from Berry's cafes and antique shops. Ali made us feel very welcome. She has out done herself fitting the house gorgeously with charming interiors that compliment the beautiful 1920s house. I would definitely recommend staying here during your future trip to Berry!

Lucy2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Rosebud is the kind of property you secretly wish you lived in as your own home. Not a single detail is missed in this lovely cottage! Every room has been thoughtfully designed, decorated & exudes warmth. The cute courtyard is a perfect spot to unwind in & having access to Ali's yard to see the chooks & cubby house was wonderful. Perfect location, easy 5 minute walk into town. We visited with our 11m old daughter & Ali went above & beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Such a delightful little property which we hope to visit again soon!

Kirrily2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

Perfect Host who thought of everything! Exceeded our expectations and look forward to staying again at this beautiful property!

Nick2017-08-07T00:00:00Z

What a beautiful space, all the finishing touches made our stay even better. Beautiful linen and towels....even the soap and hand cream was lovely! Comfortable beds and pillows too! Nice and close to Berry centre. Thank you so much Ali and Art......we loved staying in your beautiful home X

Lucretia2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Ali, Art and Lucy were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome. The home-made buscuits were the perfect touch and absolutely delicious! The apartment was very very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay, the bed was comfy and the bathroom beautiful. The backyard is perfect for morning breakfasts and afternoon drinks. Ali gave us tips on restaurants to eat at and activities to do during our stay. We would definatly love to stay here again!

michelle2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Many thanks to Ali and Art for making our stay comfortable and being so thoughtful in offering to extend our check out to accommodate for our baby boy. I was impressed with the decor, cleanliness of the apartment and quality of the bathroom and cleaning products. An all round wonderful place to stay, great location and perfect for a small family.

Spacious, cool and comfortable self-contained apartment with a separate entrance to the main house. A short walk to the artisan shops and cafe culture that is the delightful village of Berry. Just seven minutes drive to the beautiful Seven Mile Beach.

Peaceful garden setting and walking distance from beautiful Berry's artisan shops and cafés. Spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area overlooking a verandah and landscaped gardens. The separate bedroom has a queen sized bed, a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite.
Stays naturally cool on hot days, with a wall heater to keep you warm in the winter.
The apartment is in the bottom floor of our home, with separate entry and key.

Set amongst the rolling hills in lush dairy country, Berry is a beautiful, historic village full of colourful artisan shops and cafés.
Just 7 minutes to the long stretches of sand and surf at Seven Mile Beach, and another 5 minutes from there to the child friendly waters of the stunning lagoon at the little village of Gerroa, this is the ideal location for a holiday. Take it from us and the many others who came to the area for a holiday but were compelled to stay!
The Berry Village outdoor pool, open from November to March, is a walk away at the showgrounds. There is a 19 metre pool plus a toddler pool.
We have a list of suggestions for the best sightseeing, coffee shops, restaurants, pubs and things to do just waiting for you.

Very spacious and cosy. Child friendly. Enough room for a port-a-cot in the bedroom. Comfortable lounges and bed. Beautiful gardens. Not too far from town, about a 10 minute walk. Lots of great suggestions on things to do in the area, supplied by host. Could hear voices, footsteps from above at times. Didn't get the eggs as described but we had brought our own food with us so it wasn't an issue. Great stay.

Michelle2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

Jo's accommodation was everything (and more) we needed for a really enjoyable weekend. A pity we couldn't have stayed longer. Home made sour dough bread added a personal touch that was much appreciated. Would definitely book with Jo if ever in the area again.

Jean2015-12-01T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay. Apartment was clean and comfortable. Hosts were friendly and welcoming.

Jorin2016-03-29T00:00:00Z

Jo is a lovely host who clearly spent a lot of time preparing the flat for guests visiting from outside the area. She has a detailed guide with all the "need to knows" as well as information about things to see and do, as well as places to eat. She cleverly labels things to help locate light switches, extra linens, etc. Berry is a great little town between the beaches and Kangaroo Valley. She was very kind to make the rental available during the holidays. This is the place for you if you are looking for your own rustic retreat.

Ann2016-12-26T00:00:00Z

Perfect apartment and location in beautiful Berry. Jo is a great host with lovely dogs!

David2017-06-12T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay in Berry

Joe2016-12-19T00:00:00Z

We were originally going to take the train down, but changed our minds at the last minute to drive instead. Jo didn't have any trouble accommodating our need to have a parking slot for us. They also left a nice little printed guide for us on the dining table, which was really handy -- it had the wifi password, and all those little things like that. The place was comfortable, and very clean. The only thing is that there's a dog that isn't mentioned in the listing that comes round and barks really loudly at the door -- I would not have stayed here if I'd known about the dog.

May2015-06-10T00:00:00Z

Pros: + Beautiful gardens and quiet part of Berry. + Full size kitchen / living area Cons: - Expensive for the quality. - Not very clean, shabby. - Sheets & linen were dirty. They smelled like they had been washed (soap smell).. but had grease marks and stains all over them. This grossed us out.

Great place, accommodation excellent. rooms very comfortable .The whole place was very clean and welcolming .Robyn (the host) made every effort to make you feel comfortable. The welcolming surprise was really nice and made you feel at home straight away. We would recommend this place to our friends and hopefully we will return

The location was perfect - lovely short walk to Main Street. The house had lovely views and the inside of the property was spotless with very modern decor.

Karen2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Very pleasant experience, apartment was extremely well presented and a joy to visit.

Matt2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

Our host made us feel extremely welcome at The Alfred in Berry. We were spoilt with champagne and a beautiful cheese and fruit platter on arrival. The apartment was 5 star and whilst the description was accurate it didn't do it justice. Furnishings were gorgeous, beds blissful and a modern kitchen with everything you need. The neighbourhood was quiet in a rural setting and yet walking distance to town. A relaxing atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the orchard and pond. Our family took full advantage of the access to Netflix and Foxtel and the free Wifi was a welcome bonus as was the ducted air conditioning. Our weekend was not long enough, we look forward to returning.

Juanita2016-02-29T00:00:00Z

We had the most perfect stay for the night before my wedding. Apartment is beautiful, enormous and well appointed. Thank you for our stay.

Robert 2016-10-07T00:00:00Z

When we arrived Robyn was there in person to greet us. She also had left us some champagne, hot chocolate and other complementaries. The house was only a short walk away from the centre of town. Robyn also left plenty of information about various things to do in town and in the surrounding areas. Overall it was a great stay and we will definitely be back.

Georgia2016-09-29T00:00:00Z

I booked The Alfred in Berry for 6 adults and it was a very spacious area for us all. It was beautiful inside and very welcoming with even some extra treats on our arrival. It has great views of the garden and is very warm inside so ideal for a winter stay. It is also a great location with only a short walk away to town and the treat shop :) Thankyou Robyn for a wonderful stay.

At Back 2 Earth, you can have as much free time as you wish or spend the day with Marc and Jenny. You might find yourself picking fruit and veggies, feeding the baby farm animals, fencing, sweeping out the farm shed, collecting eggs, or prepping food in the kitchen. At our farm , you can do everything or nothing at all, and the children can be looked after while parents relax and unwind on the farm, or go out for a much needed dinner and some alone time.
During the winter months, you can enjoy the crackle and warmth of the outdoor fire pit – make sure to bring your musical instruments for a sing-a-long.

Back 2 Earth is a 5 acre property surrounded by the majestic hills of Berry and the sparkling, unspoiled Seven Mile beach. It is only a 5 minute drive to Berry Village, which takes you back to a time and a place where the world was less complicated.

Back 2 Earth is just 2 hours from Sydney, 2 ½ hours from Canberra, and 2 ½ hours from the Blue Mountains. There is easy access by a daily train service that takes you to Berry, and we would be happy to pick you up from the train station at no extra charge.
We have a fruit forest with over 50 trees and several veggie gardens that cater for most of our needs.
Sitting on the balcony you will have superb, uninterrupted views of the sun setting behind Berry Mountain, and if you are an early riser, you will enjoy spectacular sun rises over Seven Mile Beach.
Throughout the day, the prolific bird life will keep you entertained with all their antics.
We have hand raised farm animals that would love some attention.

We had a really enjoyable stay at Marc & Jenny's place. It was very clean, modern and very comfortable. We had a warm welcome by both Marc and Jenny and they were very responsive throughout the entire booking process and stay. The gift basket was a very generous addition. We had a very relaxing weekend and would highly recommend this to anyone else looking for the same!

Marc and Jenny were perfect hosts and their farm is a little spot of heaven. We all loved spending time with their beautiful hand-reared animals, and only wished we'd been able to stay longer. Breakfast was divine - Marc's superfood muesli is incredible but the berries, bread, eggs and cheese were also lovely. We will be back - but definitely for longer next time!

Caroline2014-10-05T00:00:00Z

Marc and jenny are true gems. They looked after us and all their guests very well. My 2 year old loved feeding he animals and Marc and Jenny included us in all aspects including the delicious cooking of raw vegan food. We will definitely back and explore a bit of the area although you wont want to leave their little sanctuary.

Katrin2016-06-14T00:00:00Z

What an amazing time we had. Feeding The animals was like a meditation in itself. We did not feel like leaving as we felt right at home. Jenny and Marc were fabulous hosts and Smudge and Ebony stole our hearts away. We will be back and next time will do the raw vegan.

Vera2015-09-28T00:00:00Z

What a find! Our self contained room was better than described - the photos here really don't do the space justice. The fire in the living room was perfect for chilly evenings and the well equipped kitchen even came with some of Marc's homemade treats. Jenny is a wonderful host - that perfect balance of welcoming and non intrusive. She left us to the quiet of the deck and the view as we caught up on some work and still we had wonderful chats while feeding the animals. Don't forget the animals on your stay here they are an eclectic and beautiful bunch. My partner and I felt refreshed and ready to face the world again after just a few days at Back 2 Earth. It was an absolute pleasure - we will be back!

Catherina2014-07-28T00:00:00Z

Thank you so much Marc for making us feel so at home. The fruit baskets, the fireplace, the firewood, feeding the animals, meeting the two cheeky puppies, the veggie garden, the almond milk you made for us. The list goes on! Thank you so much for everything we had the best time. It was absolutely magical. We will see you next time!

Trixi2015-08-31T00:00:00Z

Our young family had a great couple of days at Back to Earth. Feeding the farm animals is definitely a highlight! Marc and Jenny are generous with their knowledge of farm life. The accommodation is lovely - clean, comfortable, quiet and restful. The town of Berry is close by, with great food and shopping. Or you can simply kick back and enjoy the quiet and beautiful scenery of the farm.

Red Waratah is a newly built separate apartment located in a new estate within easy walking distance of the Berry township, yet far enough away from the busy main road, with views of rolling green hills. The apartment is clean, spacious, well lit and equipped with modern appliances enabling a very comfortable stay. The separate bedroom has a queen sized bed, wardrobe and a large ensuite.

The apartment is above our garage (separate to the main house) and there are steps to the apartment. No smoking is allowed on the premises. The apartment has its own off street parking.

Berry is a charming heritage rural town, 10 mins drive from local beaches in the Shoalhaven region of the NSW South Coast. It contains great restaurants, cafes and many shops. It also has plenty of live music at the two local hotels. Berry is an easy drive from Sydney, Canberra, Illawarra and South Coast regions of New South Wales, making it ideal for weekends away as well as longer holidays.

A quiet and comfortable nook, tucked away form the busy Main Street. Anne and Alan's retreat is a lovely spot to retire after a day of exploring. Well appointed, spotlessly clean and complete with friendly hosts who went out of their way to help us out. Highly recommended!

Helen's place is a cozy hideaway that overlooks beautiful meadows and the sea, yet really only 10 minutes drive from a coffee or a meal in the small towns nearby. It was raining most of the time that i was there so i couldn't go for the walks she recommended, but sitting in her lounge room by the fireplace is a lovely experience in itself, especially if you are interested in her collection of furniture :) I let Helen know prior to arrival that I didn't take too well to cold weather, so she graciously provided an electric blanket and a gas heater in my room, which had views out to the vast landscape and sea.. not to mention the spacious bathroom (also heated!) that I had to myself. Helen's place has everything I was looking for in a country retreat: scenery, comfort and hospitality; I'd definitely recommend it and will be looking forward to my next visit. Thank you Helen for sharing your home with me, and thank you for letting me take home some of the organic eggs and lemons from your backyard!

Jade2014-09-06T00:00:00Z

We have a great weekend at Helen's house which is quiet and cozy.The house is located in the valley where you see cows and rabbits everywhere.Everything is exactly the way you see from the pictures.Helen is a considerate host and offers us valuable suggestions of fine places to eat and visit.

Helen's place has the most spectacular view overlooking rose valley! She was also very welcoming and hospitable. The bed was really comfortable and the toilet and kitchen downstairs are newly renovated. The location is also close to the towns of Berry and Gerringong, where there's quite a few dining options available. Would definitely recommend this place!

David2015-12-21T00:00:00Z

I had a wonderful and relaxing experience. Helen is so warm and welcoming and made me feel right at home within minutes. The property is ideally located. Far away from civilisation to enjoy amazing beauty and tranquility, yet only a few minutes drive to beaches, restaurants and more stunning views. Helen's hospitality included a comfortable room, bathroom with soaps and shampoos etc., tea, fruit, muesli, wonderful conversations and even a home grown paw paw to take home with me. I highly recommend this amazing, stunning property in Rose Valley.

Harley2015-11-02T00:00:00Z

Whales, dolphins, walks and great food - an absolutely bliss filled week. Helen is very relaxed and welcoming, and knows the local area well. Our accommodation was tranquil, wonderfully warm and comfortable, and blessed with a breathtaking outlook. Highly recommended for short or long stays :)

At the nearby caravan park you can rent surf boards and paddle boards. There are even surfing lessons.
A short walk from the apartment is the magnificent Seven Mile Beach National Park where there are wonderful hikes.
Along seven miles of white sands there are gentle waves for a quiet dip, surf breaks for the adventurous and a beautiful placid river perfect for little ones to play all day.
Enchanting wineries and the charming cafes and gorgeous stores of the town of Berry are within a twenty minute drive.
The IGA supermarket is seven minutes drive away in nearby Gerringong. For those wanting to stay in, there are Thai and pizza deliveries to your door.
There's linen, quilts and bath towels. All you need to bring is your togs and a beach towel.

Beautiful area to stay in. So much to do within a 20min radius. Or you can definately just stay at home, enjoy the view and the serenity of the beach. The unit was clean and tidy, linnen provided a big bonus, wifi and books and dvds if its not a great day weather wise. Rahni is lovely and a great help. Little shop across the road is a bonus too.

Welcome!
Our place is a private accommodation attached to our family home. It has its own separate access, bathroom, living area, balcony, front garden and in-ground pool.
The Big Blue is colourful, simple and relaxing. We have created a space with character and life, and have kept in mind all the home comforts that you need when traveling.
We are located only a short walk to shops, cafes and bowling club.
And a 300m downhill stroll the the picturesque Werri Beach!!
See you soon :)

Gerringong is a small coastal town with sooooo many possibilities for fun, relaxation or adventure!
Local activities include, coastal walks /mountain biking, bike tracks, rock pools, surfing, swimming and fishing. Or just lay on the beach all day with a good book!
The nearby villages of Kiama, Gerroa, Berry, Kangaroo Valley and Jervis Bay are also worth a visit.

We had a wonderful experience and stay at The Big Blue! Amarlie arranged the place with great taste which made it very comfortable, relaxing and practical at the same time. Loved the location since only a few metres away from the beach and town centre. I particularly enjoyed the view over the pool from the bedroom and homemade brownies, thanks Amarlie for being a top host!

Brice2017-06-13T00:00:00Z

Beautiful in every way

Brady2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

The place was clean and cosy. Exactly how the descriptions say. Really nice swimming pool except it is July so a bit too cold to jump in. Amarlie is very nice and welcome :)

Nalin2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Warm and cosy place on cold June days. Well situated in the town and Gerringong is such a great place. Loved the decor and the little extra touches. Highly recommend for a couple.

Linda2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

The Big Blu was a very comfortable space and tastefully decorated by Amarlie with great colours. We spent three nights here (two of us) and we spent a most relaxing time. Close to eateries and walking distance to the beach. Amarlie generously left us a host of provisions which were gratefully devoured. May I also recommend the Sunday roast at the bowling club which is walking distance.

John2017-06-19T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place, wonderful location. We felt so welcome on arrival! The apartment was beautifully kept and very comfortable - deck, lounge room and bed - and it was so easy to get down to the beach for a surf, or drive to nearby vineyards, Berry and Gerroa. Thank you for the wonderful stay, and the excellent communication in organising or stay here! We will be back!

Kate2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

7 out of 5 stars. The place is amazing. and Amarlie is so accommodating, I reccomend this place to all comers.

Lachlan2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our short stay at Amarlie's Big Blue.

Just a short stroll to beautiful Werri Beach this private 2 bedroom self contained apartment has a full bathroom with bath. Pet and child friendly.
Pets and children over 1 to be included as guest numbers.

The apartment is within the lower storey of a split level home. It has its own access, private balcony and off street parking. This space formed part of the original home until an extensive renovation.
We have two bedrooms; one queen bed, the other with a king single and single bed. We are happy to accommodate a clean, well behaved dog, but do ask that they do not sleep on the furniture (a dog bed is provided).

We 'live the dream' everyday in Gerringong. You can do as little or as much as you like. You can swim, surf, walk, cycle, shop, explore, visit one of the many local cafe's serving great coffee, there are 5 local wineries, you can dine out, kayak our local estuaries, read a book or just 'drop off the planet'.

It was excellent experience to stay in the sea mist apartment. Clean ,tidy ,comfortable and lovely owner. Can't wait to come back again .

Paul2015-12-22T00:00:00Z

Michelle picked us up from the station and gave us a bit of a tour of Gerringong, pointing out the key coffee locations before taking us to the apartment. The apartment was bright, spotlessly clean, well fitted out and had a lovely outlook

Robin2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Sea Mist was fabulous. The property was large enough to accommodate one adult and three children comfortably, and the back yard was great for the kids to play in. Very well appointed and conveniently located, the apartment was easy to find, and although Michelle was away during our visit, she left clear instructions on how to access the property. It was raining on one of our days, but the kids were easily amused with the board games and DVDs available. The bathtub is divine to soak in! Overall a wonderful experience.

The accommodation was very comfortable , clean and (URL HIDDEN) is nicely situated between the main attractions of Gerringong, the beach , the rock pool and the cute shopping centre.Both are pleasant walking distance from Sea Mist.It is possible to get the train from Sydney and the obliging and pleasant Michelle will collect you from train station , which is a definate possibility my next stay.We went to the Kiama Jazz festival and had a great time.Definately a good find.

Jane2015-03-09T00:00:00Z

Sea Mist apartment was really lovely! Light and airy and very comfortable, with fantastic views, and well appointed. A great stay and would highly recommend the apartment, and Michelle is a pleasure to deal with.

Nicole2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

Great value place. Highly recommended.

Nicholas2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Sea Mist over the Easter long weekend. The apartment is newly renovated, very private and located less than a ten minute walk to the beach. Michelle was very accommodating and allowed us to bring our dog Smokey Joe along for the trip, even providing him with a very comfortable dog bed. Would highly recommend Sea Mist. We had a very positive experience

The apartment is located on the ground floor of our beach house, located in the heart of Gerroa. The apartment is ideal for families and has all the amenities you will need for a stay at the beach. We are only 100m from the beach and Crooked River.

The apartment has views down to the beach and has a beautiful front garden and is safe and secure.

Gerroa is a lovely sleepy beachside town which is only a 2 hour drive from Sydney. It has a beautiful sweeping sandy beach which is 7 miles long and is perfect for surfing, stand up paddle boarding and fishing. There is also a wide river which is perfect for small children to paddle in and older ones to kayak on.We are just a minutes walk from the famous Blue Swimmer Crab restaurant and cafe where you can get the perfect coffee or enjoy a lazy lunch or dinner. Gerringong is the closest town which is only a 7 minute drive and has all the ammenities you will need for your stay, including a supermarket, great surf shops, bottle shop and a selection of restaurants. Berry is only 20 minutes drive into the hinterland and Kiama equidistant. The local 'Fisherman's Club' is the perfect place for an afternoon drink.

Great apartment, very close to the beach and Blue Swimmer cafe. Perfect for families or adult retreat alike. 3 bedrooms, separate shower and toilet, great view from the balcony. Very well appointed kitchen, good quality linen, BBQ etc. Check in was easy and hosts were very welcoming. We hope to visit again!

Kari2017-04-20T00:00:00Z

Lovely views, walking distance to a cute and decent cafe, a short 2 min drive to Gerringong shops. Clean apartment and easy communication. Would recommend

A modern fully self contained studio apartment on the beautiful N.S.W South Coast. The studio is situated in front of the main house. It is completely detached and therefore has it's own entry and is quite private. Directly opposite Werri Lagoon & 200 mtrs to the sands of Werri Beach. Included in tariff a continental breakfast hamper for 2, courtyard, alfresco spa & BBQ. Chill!

Privacy, tranquility and beauty with a touch of luxury. Larger than a hotel room and about the same as a large Motel room with far more privacy and ammenities. The studio is open plan and spacious.Unfortunately we do not accommodate children or pets.

Werri Beach is beautiful, pristine and tranquil. Sometimes the swarking of cockies, the lowing of cows, crashing of waves or the distant toot of the diesel train across Omega Flats will interrupt the stillness. Sorry!

Little House on the Werri was the perfect location for a relaxing coastal retreat. The house was comfortable, clean, well-appointed and private.

Amy2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Great place and great value

Michael2017-06-12T00:00:00Z

Studio & outdoor space is lovely and even better than the photos. Thanks a lot for letting us stay in such a lush area

carl2016-05-08T00:00:00Z

Maggie was lovely and accomodating host. Very thorough instructions, great location and top hot tub!

Jacob2016-10-15T00:00:00Z

Really enjoyed ourselves on our night away at Maggie's. The place is very well set up and provides everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the outdoor spa as it was a weekend of torrential rain. Thanks for making our time in Gerringong so enjoyable.

Claire2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

可爱的小公寓,这是最适合我们的周末之旅。在Werri小房子地理位置优越,适合城市和美丽的海滩。张曼玉使我们感到非常欢迎!

Chris2015-02-02T00:00:00Z

We had a pleasant getaway at Werri.

Ben2015-08-17T00:00:00Z

Great little spot down by Werri beach. Perfect for a couple and set out nicely from the house. Well presented and the hosts have thought of everything you need even down to a morning croissant after a good nights sleep. Highly recommend the Little house on Werri if you get the chance!

Immediately inside the apartment is the bathroom on your left and first of 2 living areas: this living space contains the TV, with a modular charcoal sofa and chaise. The large flatscreen TV has a DVD player.
The bathroom has a large shower recess with a deep hob, a large mirror above a vanity with plenty of space for all your bathroom toiletries and a toilet.
In the Queen bedroom, the bed, which is set into a wooden surround, looks directly at the pool. A TV on a movable stand means you can watch TV in bed, or lie on your sun lounger and watch TV outside. The bedroom has a wardrobe, an easy chair and a full length mirror. Quality linen, robes, bath and beach towels are provided.
The main living area runs along the side of the apartment overlooking the lap pool. Large glass windows make this a light-filled space. Step directly out onto the terrace and take a dip in the pool.
This living area is open plan and includes a dining space with table to seat 4, a modular sofa with ottoman and galley kitchen. From this living area there are fabulous views across the lap pool to the Illawarra escarpment mountains and the green rolling hills of Rose Valley at the back of Gerringong.
The galley kitchen has a microwave convection oven (no oven or cooktop), a halfsize dishwasher, electric frypan, toaster, kettle, Aldi coffee machine (pods supplied), single sink, Sony portable speaker with jack, plenty of crockery, glasses etc and plenty of bench space.
Outside on the terrace, there are 2 sun loungers with cushions positioned in sunshine to look the full length of the pool, a large gas BBQ undercover and two further sun loungers with cushion under the cabana, in the shade, and with views to the beach. Just near the cabana is the outdoor dining table. Please note, while the owners live in the home upstairs, they offer their guests complete privacy in the apartment downstairs and private use of the swimming pool.

This hilltop village of Gerringong sits perched on the dramatic coastal headland, overlooking great swathes of blue ocean and surrounded by vibrant green hills. It’s about 10 minutes’ drive south of Kiama, within easy reach of Sydney at around two-hours’ drive, and less than an hour from Wollongong. Yet this seaside town feels worlds away.
A good way to get the lay of the land is to park near the main street and explore the town. Park at the Gerringong Cemetery at the top of Belinda Street, you can walk down the headland to Boat Harbour Reserve, a pretty sheltered beach and boat ramp, where you’ll find Cook Park, which has a children’s playground, as well as the secluded Boat Harbour Rock Pool, formerly the Gerringong Ladies’ Baths.
On the north side of the very same headland sits the Werri Beach Rock pool, constructed in the 1930s and a favourite with lap swimmers. Werri Beach itself is a must-visit. Known as an excellent surf beach, it is distinguished by having point breaks at both ends of the beach. Werri Beach is patrolled by lifeguards and is also popular with families and picnickers.
There’s a thriving golf scene in Gerringong, with seven golf courses in close proximity. The Gerringong Golf Club in particular offers spectacular views, and is set between Gerringong and nearby Gerroa. It has a small club house serving snacks and drinks, but the real draw is the view over Walker’s Beach to the east, and down the hills inland to the mountains and Budderoo National Park.
There are plenty of spots in Gerringong to stop for a bite. Grab a pie or a pastry from the Gerringong Bakery, a favourite with visitors making a pit stop on their South Coast adventure. Go for a beer at Cronin’s Hotel, and be sure to sample the wines on offer at the Crooked River Winery, which also has a critically acclaimed restaurant. Check out The School, a historic schoolhouse built in 1862 in Toolijooa, relocated to Gerringong in 1953, and relocated again in 1995. At the The School, you can get high tea, lunches, taste a range of teas, and take cooking and cheesemaking classes.

I don't really have anything else to add to the other glowing 5 star reviews! It is as lovely as all the others say, so many personal touches, the host has thought of everything.

Rosemary2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

We loved staying at Brenda's place. The home was gorgeous with an amazing view, modern/cozy furnishings, and walking distance to the beach and town! If you have a chance to stay here...you should!!!!

This place of peace offers you an escape you will not regret. You won't want to leave! Perfect for couples needing some time away. Highly recommend.

Jake2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Brenda'a place is one of a kind. Great location with an amazing view, a pool that makes you not want to even bother with the beach and every detail delivered to perfection to give a real resort style feeling. We felt like we were in Bali but it only took 2 hours to get there! Brenda you really are a super host! We'll be back!
